Securing the border would be the most popular element of any immigration reform deal, according to a new poll.

Eight-in-ten Americans support hiked-up border security and 72 percent support more Visas for high-skilled immigrants, the ABC News/Washington Post poll on Wednesday found. Fifty-seven percent support a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, a number in line with other recent polling on the subject.

A whopping 93 percent of Republicans support securing the border, but only 61 percent of Hispanics feel the same. The large gap illustrates one of the difficulties Republicans face as they try to craft a bipartisan deal on immigration. While their base is likely to demand tough border measures, many Hispanics on the border feel security is already tight enough.
